ABSTRACT:
A specially designed deflector is mounted to the radiator cooling fan assembly, so as to catch and redirect some of the air that has been pulled through the radiator, up and over the engine, between the top of the engine and the underside of the hood. On the underside of the hood, an elongated, hollow curb divides up the space between the underside of the hood and the top of the engine. The curb has a front end located above and to the outside of the deflector, and runs diagonally across the hood underside to a back end that is located to the outside of the alternator. The air is directed along the side of the curb and ultimately over the alternator, thereby cooling it.
